Philadelphia will have reason to be thankful
on Thanksgiving day. The sum of 1914, 900
has just been raised by citizens of Philadel-
phia to remove the mortgage from its build
ing and pay the accrued interest and taxes.
The sums contributed ranged from $50, 900,
the gift of John B. Stetson, down to frae-
tional sums. There was one subscription OF
$21, 1000, three of $4,000 each, and eight 81
Sc, 900 and so on. The small subscriptions
of members and friends amounted to 50, zoe
and the women of Philadelphia gave $11 300
The building cost $500, 900, and is prized
as one of the noblest centers of charity il
the city.

10 tne Edltor or the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Some days ago I was SO shocked by Mr..
Welch's proposition to convert the Grecian
Temple on the Green into a public school
that I am only now able to speak of it. Mr..
Weleh did this as a friend of the State House
and therefore the horrible idea of having the
children of enigrants and foreigners yelping
around and deseerating the sanctuary of our
family histories is forced on us by friend
am an old man and it tries me to WRITE
but must say that the fewer friends like
Fl. N. Welch we have the better. Consider
ing the fact that he is only an emigrant, Mr..
Welch is G highly respectable gentleman.
But we all know that emigrant is inferior
to one OF the fine bred, unspetted town born,
and SO Mr.. Welch is not capable of the high
and noble sentiments by which alone that
beautiful structure can be preserved and our
family histories kept from rust and decay.
Now, 1 do not wish to offend Mr.. Welch.
On the contrary think the town born had
better pat such men on the back and encour
But, on principle, he and ali other emigrants
and foreigners should be kept in their proper
place.
say, no compromise OF evasion Let us
fight for the State House solely on the ground
that it belongs of right to the town born and
should be repaired and kept solely for the
noble purpose of keeping the priceless me-
mentoes of the glorious histories of our town
born families from rust and decay.
am getting very tired, but I must say
one more thing. l am told that nearly all
the truthful articles showing the duty of
New Haven toward the State House and the
beauty of that noble structure written by
the janitor of the State House. What a
shame this is ! To your tents, o Israel
Arise, ye town born, and help the valiant
janitor defend the repository of our family
histories and the tracks of our ancestors

LILIHA STREET.


That notorious thoroughfare, Liliha
street, is, whether through the pressure
of public opinion through the papers
or otherwise, receiving much needed
repairs. Yesterday morning gang OF
prisoners began operations at the juno
ton with King street. BY noon they
had the shape Of road thrown up for
a distance of about $50 yards, using
material dug from the road side. The
Road Supervisor, Mr.. Hart, was seen
later and, on being bantered about the
unsubstantial structure, stated that the
road was to be covered with coral rock
and rolled. That would make an ex-
cellent road for, probably, three OF
four years, judging by the amount oil
travel on that street compared with the
traffic on King street, where SINH
larly built road is found, at the lapse OF
two years, to have lost its capabllity OF
resistance to a rainy siege. 1t is a
pity that a harder material, broken to
the Macadam standard, such as has
given Queen street its durability, could
not be employed in the repair Of
Liliha street.

Alligator Pear.


A writer upon Mexico gives an inter
esting account of fruit cultivated in
that country. Not less entertaining is
what he has to say Of the manner in
which this fruit came by its strange
name among English speaking people:
/ must not omit to mention the
aguacate, a very delicate semi-vegeta-
BILE fruit, sometimes purple and some
times green. 1t is something Of the
shape OF pear, though MOI so much so
in Mexico as l have seen it in the
Cape Verdes and South America. 1t
has one large round stone in the mid
die, and its contents are of substance
like butter, with very delicate, nutty
flavor In Portuguese, in which Ian
guage l fancy it was first known to
our sailors, it is called Abacate; and
this word not exactly suiting mouth
with quid in it, and the shape Of the
fruit being familiar, our tars of the
olden time jumbled the whole name
into alligator pear" which the learned
have adopted.
"What would you call it, thenF said
passenger on board who did not like
to be disturbed out OF what he had
called it for years.
Now that is a very dangerous sort OF
side issue to fall into in any serious
argument
81 would call it by its own proper
name" ! replied.
''But who's to twist ones mouth into
III Alligator pear will do as well as any
thing else"
"Wel, them" said another, "any-
thing else again will do, and I'll call it
crocodile apple"
One Of these names is, certainly, just
as good as the other; but to the end Of
the world ALLIGATOR pear will repre-
sent aguacate, or abacate.

A HEALTHY CITY.
What the Health Commissioners
Report Will Show for St. Paul.

What the Health Commissioners
Report Will Show for St. Paul.
The compilation of the mOrtuary and
vital statistics of st. Paul for the year
1887 will shortly be begun by Assistant
Commissioner of Health f. A. Hendrick-
son. The annual report of DR.. Jones,
health officer. will be issued early in
January. 1t will show an UMPIRE
cedently low death rate and will
be a strong testimonial to the healthy
condition of the city and the health
giving climate of Minnesota. Cholera
and yellow fever, the ScOurge of East
ern and Southern climates, are so far
unknown in Minnesota, and but two
cases of smallpox. neither of which re-
suited IN death, have been recorded dur
ing the year. The prevailing fatal dis
eases shown in the record are chOl-
era infantum, diphtheria, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever. measles, pneumonia and
consumption. During the first eleven
months of the year there were 1863 deaths
from cholera infantum, 156 of that num-
Der being recorded during the
hot months of June. July and August.
Diphtheria has destroyed CO lives during
the eleven months, and scarlet fever 80.
There were 135 deaths from typhoid
fever. most of them during the last four
months, August, September, October
and November Measles carried off
IS persons, 60 of them between the
months of February and July. The vic
tins of pneumonia number 129; the ma
iority of which were i'll the first five
months of the year. Consumption car
ried off a total of 1919; few each month,
but most of them between May and
August. The deaths by violence during
the eleven months number s.. The
total number of deaths from all causes
up to Dec. is 1,792. The total number
of births is 1926; divided as to sex, 1,22l
males and 1,205 females, The records
also show a total of $50 marriages.
The death rate for the year will be
figured upon the basis of the low eSti-
mate of 10000 population. In 1882 the
death rate was 1852; in 1883, estimating
the population at 10000. the death rate
was l4.40; in 1884, with population OF
10000, the rate was 1867; i'll 1885, the
census showing population of ,397,
the rate was 12.0S; in 1856, estimating
the population at only 125. 900. the rate
was 1918, and in 1881 the rate will be
still lower. The figures indicate not
only an abnormally low death rate, but
its progressive decline. Compared with
the leading cities in all other parts of
America, St. Paul heads the list for a
low death rate.
